Place: 13 out of 379

I haven't finished sub-5 for three years and eleven months....will the streak hold? I thought for sure I was doomed a few days ago when it was under 4.6


I got my 5, so the streak continues:

You can check out how Robert took this at //www.robertharrison.org/icarus/wordpress/about/

Can't believe someone gave it a 1.
This guy is a genius


Was it just the date on his camera that was wrong? Doh! I saw this in the thumbs and was pretty sure it was faked somehow because I didn't think anybody would have access to a balloon. I guess I was quite wrong!


Not sure it says on his website that it only took him 2 hours to get the balloon up and back on the 15th of may. I would say he didn't set the time and date right on the camera. Doh!!!!
Oh yeah congrats on your 2nd what a stunning image


Just wondering... How would the SC feel about this bit: "The camera is controlled by a small micro computer which takes pictures at timed intervals in various directions." I wouldn't care at all, but I would like to know if that was why and/or if it would have caused a DQ because he alone didn't manually set up the shot. I know this has come up before (certainly not in a case like this, however.)

One of the best free studies I can remember. I am usually pretty conservative with my favs but I picked 4 this time:

remarkably dramatic and just stunning. wow!


amazing colors and well composed


alright. Its a hummingbird...but wow. Sooo sharp where is needs to be and such great colors


This was DQ'd but I can honestly say I don't recall seeing a picture on this site from this high up

Blurry abstract images tend to do that. They have their lovers and plenty of haters as well. I was one of the lovers. Great stuff.

Congrats on your new personal best! A 6.4 is an excellent showing, especially in a free study.

Hmmmm ... scrubber worked against me this time:

So, the scrubber removed three votes totalling 19. I guess those were from people who didn't meet the 20% minimum threshold.

A new second-best regardless, but I'm kind of curious to see whether I'll gain any further ground via the scrubber.

I'm finished voting. 5.9 on the giving end. I have several 8s many 7s and one 10. The 10 should win IMO.

I myself have a 5.6x at this point. I felt it was a 6 going in but now that I've finished voting I see that a 5.6 is fair.

I've already edited that section but the photo doesn't show....the number of the photo is there but the thumbnail isn't showing. I'll work with it a bit more to see if I can make it work.


I'm sorry, I missed that part.

For some reason you won't see the photo, and neither will anyone else after rollover. You need to go into the details and hit the submit changes button after rollover for it to show up. Otherwise everyone will see what you're seeing now. Spiff was right, and I just didn't read it carefully enough. sorry!
